i aa'aeaa To e lrvkorntma y camera" 1 "Be it known that T CECIL E.LLOYD, a ci of e .Uni' edfitat e," r iding at Pensacola in'the county ofEscambia and State of Florida,- have invented new anduseful Improvementsin Mechanisms for Transmitting Power,-- of which the following is aspecification. r

T is nve tion rel et mechani m-1 for A power and is designedparticularly for transmitting the power of an internal combustion engineto one or more Pump a One of the main objects of the invent ons to Pr emee a m f r t ansmitti g power, hi h. m a ism may be q ick y and easilyassociated with an internal combus n g e Wi hout requir g any n1o ificaon of th e g ne he ame t e Oh mi i g a s rong, du a l -and e ie ent forthe purpose stated. a i

With the above and other hj eetsi-f view, he in nti consi ts n he n vlconstr e tion, c m ina ion and rrang men of p rts, e e n desc i ed,illustrated and cla med.-

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation parabrok saway showing the motion. transmitting mechanism in its-applied relationto an: in-i t ernal combustion engine and a plurality of D ml 1 Fig; 2.is a fragmentary plan View of thesame on an enlarged scale.-

T ig. 3 of a pare niemi- Fig.4 is a side elevation of onev of the gearswith the adjacentcrank pin member detached; I e V The mechanism fortransmitting power comprises in the. preferred embodiment thereof a gearframe of sectional formation comprising the sections 1 and 2. Thesection 1 is arranged to abut directlyagainst one of the end walls ofthe base or frame 3 013 he po er transmi ing mec ia of an internalcombustion engine as shown" in Fig. '1, said section 1 beingformed withattaching ears 4 receiv ng fasten ng means 5 by which said section isfixedly secured to the engine.

is a fragmentary perspective view ingse for a coun-tershaft 9 wh-ichisarranged parallel to the engine shaft 10, 11 designating a fly wheelonthe engine shaft The earing sleeves 8 are arranged in spaced relationt-o each other so as to admit bet-ween them another bearing sleeve 12 onthe section 2. The countershaft 9 passes through all of the bearingsleeves 8 and 12 and carries at one end a large gear 13 which mesheswith a gear 14 on the engine shaft 10. On the opposite end of thecountershaft 9 there is a smaller gear 15 which meshes with a relativelylarge gear 16 on a pump operating shaft 17 which is journa'led in abearing s e ve .18 on he prm ting end f th sec-i tion 2 of the gearframe. a The section f the frameis additionally supported by means of anupright 19 having a base flange 20 which rests upon a supporti-ng stand21 and is securedthereto by fast elling means 2. .9 T esupporting'stand- 21 al o forms av support for the ngine as shown inFig, ena ling th engine o he lQcated at ai'sufiicicntly high elevationto handle the pump or e edt t itsfupper en e p ig support 19 issecuredfixedly to the section 2 ofthe gear fr m y fa e ing. m ns 23,

The lower extremities of thelevers 33 which are receivedin the sockets 34 are formed with holes orsockets .46 to receive screws or bolts 47 or the like inserted throughthesockets 34 to prevent escape of the levers 33 therefrom.

The mechanism hereinabove described is particularly designed for marmepumping ur oses enablin 'an internal combustion engine to be easilycoupled with one or more pumps. The mechanism may be used in conjunction with an internalcombustion engine.
